T. Noltie, Director of Exhibits (Dept. of Immigration and Colonization), Canauian Paeitie Rail- way, on his return from that exhibi- tion, which still has six months to run. “The rue-on for Canada', promin- ence," Mr. Noltie explained, "is that Canada alone of all the participating countries had her building set up and tinished, inside and out, on time. Not only that, but the whole area of the Canadian Pavilion was complete in the last detail of lawn and walks. shrub. bery, hedge and Bower beds. The whole ensemble. in lint. was a striking .nehiavtaurttt which, in a singulai’ man- an. gave an impression of eftkieete, tut was decidedly a leather in Can- ada’s cap." The explanation probably is that FInzlaml has been blessed with an ex. euptlonally mild winter, and thus all classes of the community have been able to reap the benefit of plenty of fresh lit and sunshine. The general resistance to infection has therefore been heightened and, as a consequence. disease has been less prevnler.t--and doctors have accord- ingly suffered.

As a matter of fact. honesty or dishonesty is of surprising- ly little importance, comparatively. in credit matters. This.

Novelist Did Not Confuse Work of Weber With Wagner London-George Bernard Shaw, in a tree telephone interview-with music-indignantly denied that he had been guilty or a slip of the tom gue in discussing Wagner. Presentation Cancelled First Time in king's Reign While no official explanation for the cancellation was given, it was pointed out that there is a strict rule. against presentation of divorcees. The Somerset House records show- ed that Mrs. Courtney formerly was the wife of Alexander Arnold Rayson; but the marriage was dissolved on the husband’s petition. While Shaw was telling Arturo Tos. canini and his musicians about Wag. nerian music at a reception recently he was understood to say his first acquaintance with the composer's work was a badly-played rendition ot "Pteisehtletg," His words were quoted that war by the United Press, and this correspond. eat telephoned the famous Socialist to ask whether he harreally confus- ed Wagner with Weber, the real com. poser ot "'relsclutetz." ' Lotidon.-The first instance during King George's reign ot a cancellation ot a court presentation was announced in London recently. The Lord Chamberlain issued a brief announcement, that the presenta. tion of Mrs. Christopher Courtney, wife of Captain Courtney, Deputy D1- rector ot Operations and Intelligence in the Air Ministry, had been cancell- ed. “Rubbish! Isay rubbish.' nothing of the sort. It was simply this: -I told them that the first time I heard ‘Tannhauser' it was played so byily tnat It sounded like . plagiarism ot ‘Freischuetz'. Listen. this is how Tannhauser goes.” Shaw cleared his voice, then hum- med, "Tra la la la la la." "And this," he concluded, "Tra la In la la la, is ‘Freischuetz. Good even- ing."

Chocolate is Not Magidas these entertainers perform it, is nothing more nor less than " engaging form ot entertainment, and as soon as performers assume super- human powers. they become frauds, and are outside the bounds of the so ciety's ethics, John Mulholland, pub- licity director of the organization, told a correspondent. Bultalo.--Under shifting industrial conditions of the past 10 years the Negro has gained a higher social plane as more members ot the race are em- ployed in the skilled occupations. it was brought out at the National ur. ban League Conference in Bulfalo. Necessity for providing the Negro with technical training to enable him to tit himself into new economic struc- tures brought about by expansion of major industries was stressed by Eugene Kiuckle Jones, New York City, executive secretary at the national league. V "Anyone who pretends to know or to toretell the intimate details ot an- other's life, or to have any klnd of clairvoyant or hypnotic powers. is a fraud," Mr. Mulholland said. "In Chi. cago alone there are hundreds of such persons. taking from the public mil- llons ot dollars a year under false pre- tenses. and it is our desire to expose them whenever we can for the pro. tection ot the public.' Negro Will Receive Candy Says Court Technical Training ONTARIO ARHIVES TORONTO Rodents Sumount bigicuities---Wohres ten an Victims Hungry Lemmings Rush Madly toSea Scourged by the whip of hunger. the lemmings, pugnacious little rodents of Scandinavia, ere now on their weird migration to the sea. The lemmings. rat-like matures with yellowish- brown d, and usually of bold and fearless demeanor, have been some- what of a puzzle to scientists by their1 strange periodic rush to the ocean and to death. A warm summer increases their numbers beyond computation and. beyond support. Scarcity of food be. gins to be felt and their comfortable life is disturbed by anxiety for the future. Fear, increasing to panic, takes possession of them and they as- semble together and prepare to mi- grate. Arranging themselves in ranks, I they move like a living stream flowing Pity, the heights to the low grounds.

The march is ever toward the Bea, and this also the lem. mines seek to cross. obedient to some instinctive command to go straight on " all costs. . . . The waves of the North Sea or the Baltic sweep over them and the march of the lemmings is ended," says Professor J. Arthur Thompson, in his Outline of Science. "and their population problem solvedl" The last of these strange migrations took place about six years ago, and now comes the news that the hills and valleys of Eastern Norway are wit- nessing another strange march to death. This instinctive and, to us, tragic attempt to solve a population problem, sets us thinking afresh about the mystery of instinct-one of the most marvellous things in Nature-- whence did it come? _ And what is the history behind it? Science simply does not know. The hunger march of the lemmings also reminds us attain of man's solidarity with the rest of crea- tion. We have learned that plants can feel and worms can think; and the little rodents of Scandinavia, even with their dull smooth brains, can worry over and attempt to solve the same problems that men have to face. Man is part and payeel of the universe, saving something in common with the physicist's atom and the mystie's vi- sion of God. chieatro.--The automobile tourist. season now begining calls for “all. that a poiceman can give in the way) of courteousness," declares Capty Frank C.

It is stated that the field has been exploited, but never explored, and the Govern. ment is asked to undertake a compre- hensive survey. The Romans obtain- ed gold there and hove left traces of their mining operations, such as stone troughs and the remains of aqueduets.
